Salivary Glands

See I knew it was not bone or joints. It is an infection in my salivary glands.

Funny a few weeks ago I showed David two huge white bumps under my tongue.That was the glands. LOL
Stupid me, I figured it was something I ate.

I never put the two together.

First the doctor told me to STAY hydrated, ( you all know I live with a glass of water in my hands) Then to eat foods that hurt them.

Apparently that makes them function and move the gunk out.

What happened on Saturday morning was I had just ate a M&M.

That started the flow of saliva and it did not go to my mouth, it settled in my neck and swelled up.

Really fast.

I am on antibiotics since it has gone on for a few weeks, Since the last part of June I think.

If I am not better in a week I go back.

I will be better, I plan on eating horseradish, with pork chops, that condiment will open any sinus or gland that is plugged.

Now I know.

I also know, Radioactive Iodine can affect your salivary glands.

So now I will be more careful and watch for the bumps and make sure they stay stimulated, no matter how painful.

So I am Fine, Fine, Fine.

One more battle.

One more hill.

One more trial,

one more tear,

One more curve in Life's road.

Maybe one more mile to go,

But I can lay down my heavy load when I get home.

I love battles, In fact I have been called for jury duty but I have other appointments during that time, I really want to sit in on a good trial and get to argue a point.

At least I wont be arguing with a television. (like someone I know)
